Busy Week

Well, this was a very busy week.

Overnight hospital stay? Check.

Visit with the high risk doctor? Check.

Visit with the OB? Check.

Phew. Today's OB visit was interesting. He said that with all of these contractions, if at any point I start to dialate, I'll have to go to the hospital. And if I am 36 weeks or more, we'll just have the baby. Because he can't send me home because I can't have the baby on accident -- I need a c-section.

So I'm thinking I REALLY need to be ready by the time my next OB appointment rolls around at 36 weeks. My mom is going to shop for my hospital bag essentials and we are going to finish getting Baby Sam's things this weekend. Hopefully, next time we visit the hospital, if even for a false alarm, I'll be way more prepared.

Welcome to my blog! This is the story of our Baby Sam. After 2 miscarriages and being diagnosed with MTHFR, we were overjoyed and excited to meet our baby boy on September 29th. He was diagnosed with at least 1 heart defect that should have required surgery after he was born. There were hundreds and hundreds of people praying for our sweet baby. On the day he was born, he had an echocardiogram of his heart -- and guess what? He's perfectly healthy!!! We will be forever grateful to God for our miracle baby.
